Traditionally these cocktails are made in a Tom Collins glass...but we didn't have them...so use whatever you have!

In your glass add a splash of club soda or seltzer. In a shaker filled with ice add:2 oz gin or whisky1 oz simple syrup1 oz lemon juice2 oz cherry juice1 egg white (adds a smooth silky foamy texture) Give it a good shake and then add to your glass.Enjoy!

You'll be making two back to back hearts with one piece of wire. The wire is easily bendable with your hands but you can also use pliers if you have them!

Cut a piece of wire about 2 feet long with your wire cutters.

Make your first heart by twisting the wire in the center, flipping it upside down and continue to shape a heart. This may take a bit of trial and error, but it's so worth it!Once your first heart is formed, twist one end of the wire around the bottom, bring it around and form your second heart.

You're almost done! Clean it up a little and cut the wire to whatever height you want.

Drill a small hole in the center of the block, careful not to drill all the way through.Glue the wire to the block and your photo holder is done!

These are great for Valentine's Day but can also be used all year long...or make some to throw in a plant!
